The Apple Store people basically said they wouldn't take the 'Book back. So,
I'm living with it until the HD eventually dies. The screen still has
splotches, but they're much less noticeable than they were on the other two
machines.

computer names

How do you name your systems?

Up until now, I've been using the names of cards from Magic: the Gathering.
This system isn't ideal, however, since I no longer play the game. I'm not
too keen on calling my systems "desktop", "server", and "laptop"; that just
seems too... unimaginative, kinda like naming a dog "Dog".[1]

An ideal naming scheme would be imaginative, but still give some idea of each
machine's intended function. I'll be damned if I can find a decent one.

[1] If I ever get another cat, though, I'm naming it "Neko".

school

Overall it's going well, sorta.

I completely bombed a discrete math test today (3 Nov), though. At least the
prof allows us to drop a test.
